350 Day Of Climate Action (VIDEO)

Who knew a data point about carbon emissions could be so sexy? More creative videos keep pouring in related to 350's International Day of Climate Action including this fun and racy video of supermodels stripping (because the planet is too hot!) and to encourage people to contact their representatives about climate legislation. The goal of 350.org is to show the world's leaders that there is a global movement for them to come to an agreement on a carbon emissions treaty at the UN Climate talks in Copenhagen in December. 350.org is named after the number that scientists think is upper level of parts per million of safe carbon dioxide in the atmosphere -- we have already passed this number, making action all the more critical.

Watch the supermodels and other great videos from around the world of people taking action -- 20,000 students chanting in Ethiopia, choreographed dance in Malaysia, and deep sea diving in New Zealand.

These ladies are getting naked to raise awareness about climate change -- watch the whole video to find out what happens.

Check out this flash mob as they stop traffic (and heat up!) at 3:50pm.

Via Oxfam NZ: In Auckland, Pacific Islanders wade out into the sea and hang up 350 T-shirts on a giant washing line, signifying that the Pacific Islands are being hung out to dry. Each shirt has the name of a different island printed on it.

Check out another flashmob, followed by an adorable choreographed dance and chant.

Via 350.org: "Filmed by Anna Little -- 20,000 school children rally around the number 350ppm on the 350.org International Day of Climate Action in Addis Ababa, Ethiopia. Representatives from the President of Ethiopia's office gave a speech, as did officials from the Ethiopian Department of Meteorology."

Via 350.org: "Maasai Children Spell out a Singing 350 in Maasai Mara, Kenya. Thanks to Daisy Carlson from Morecarbonsavings.org for getting this footage."

Via 350.org: "On Friday the 23rd of October, Glenferrie Primary School in Melbourne, Australia sent a message to Copenhagen on recycled icy pole sticks, 350!"

Via 350.org: The citizens of Karlskrona, Sweden create a human graph, charting the amount of CO2 in the atmosphere, measured in parts per million. They start at 389ppm (where we are now) and then move down to 350ppm -- the safe upper limit of carbon.

via youtube: The first number is 390, our current level of parts/million of CO2 in the atmosphere. The factory on the left is spewing CO2 molecules that are circulating over the 390 number and being absorbed by the trees on the right. As the CO2 molecules slow, the number changes to 370. As the CO2 molecules slow even more, the number changes to 350.
